With it being 40 years since Franky Worthys super goal , what is the best Bolton goal everyone has seen at the newer ground.

My favourite was Eidur's solo goal against Wimbledon in the League cup , i think there were only about 7/8000 on that night but I was glad to witness it in the flesh.

A mention for Eidur's winner against Charlton in the FA Cup quarters , that was a great finish.

Ibrahim Ba in a friendly against Sao Paulo

Not saying best but Wheater scored a volley from a corner last season that was quality

Steinsson V Stoke was a belter.

Not sure of which particular one but the scorer was Jay Jay Okocha.

Nolan goal vs Tottenham on the half volley was a screamer, think in 2005 season. Favourite goal Jay Jay against West Ham

He got a roasting off Allardyce for shooting from outside the box. The sports scientists had worked out that it gave a greater chance of scoring if the ball was taken into the goal area and the whole team had been banned from distant shots.

All of them above 

Just to add that Jay Jay one again Newcastle.

He absolutely twatted it. 

skil wise: Okocha's 2nd free kick v Villa (edit: closely followed by M Davies v Blackpool)

importance wise: Okocha v West Ham

reaction wise: Holden V Blackburn

Jay Jay outside of right foot welly (free kick V Villa in League cup semi) into top near corner, best goal I've ever seen live.

Some great goals already mentioned. Got to say that Nobby Nolan scored some crackers for us. Was he one of BSAs best achievements player wise?

The Okocha free kick one in league cup just about wins it for me. I was sat right behind it and never seen anyone do that before or since.

All of the above but from memory it's worth chipping in with Michael Johansen's goal against Bury (the first of a brace) in a 4-0 win in 1998.

Not a spectacular goal but one that sticks in my mind is Ivan Klasnic spinning on a ball that was coming high over his shoulder at home against Stoke and thundering it in. Short range goal but an incredible piece of skill and dead-eyed finishing. Sparked the Stoke fans to try to get in the home end! 

I quite enjoyed a couple of goals in a 4-0 home win over Blackburn a few years ago. A screamer from Spearing and Andre Moritz leathering in the fourth from about 22 yards.

That was one I hadn't seen again since the moment it went in until recently and then the club dug it out and put it on Twitter. Same with Eidur's against Charlton in the FA Cup QF. Footage from that era doesn't sound the easiest to track down.

A favourite of mine from round that time was Johansen's against Ipswich in the play offs. God I loved that bloke.

All time favourites from the ground though, I can't look past the ones already mentioned of Okocha's various hits. One v West Ham shades it for me simply due to the camera panning to the bloke in the crowd mid swear.

Eidurs v Wimbledon was as good as you’ll see.

As for favourite, Wilbraham is the best goal celebration I’ve been involved in at the reebok by a long way. 

Okocha v Aston Villa

Mark Davies v Blackpool

Eidur v Wimbledon

Okocha v West Ham

Bergsson v Barnsley

Should contact the club and ask for CCTV footage of the crowd of that goal, TV cameras don't do the scenes justice.

See also Barnsley away a couple of weeks earlier!

Other honourable mentions 

Green v southampton in cup 

Blake v West Brom at Burnden when he twatted it in from about 30 yards

You must have been sitting near me then, because I was right behind it too and it surprised me as much as it did Villa. Cracker of a goal.

Think the Mark Davies goal v Blackpool was better because it was one of the rare times that everybody knew where everyone was and as team goals go it was almost psychic.

Elmander's v Wolves was brilliant too for the fancy footwork and cool finish.

Davies goal wins it for me because it so many players were involved.

We've not completed that many passes over the whole of this season 😊

whether you hate Coyle or not, there was a month or so there where we played the best footy I've seen us play and going to the match was fucking ace

Did we establish that Elmander's goal wasn't at the Reebok?

Alf’s over the shoulder volley.

It was a fantastic month

Even as somebody who detests the man, back then I was one of a minority who appreciated that Blackpool game

Could've been 15 apiece

There was the Newcastle win when elmander destroyed collocini

And away at Wolves

 

But generally, when we did well under Coyle, it wasn't at that level of performance

No shame in that, mind

there was also Spurs (4-2) and unlucky not to win away at Everton - Blackburn and the Holden goal was around that time too

there's only so far you can go on enthusiasm though, look at Utd
